    Tough choice. The Veyron and the Zonda are very different cars.

    For me, if price was no object I'd take the Veyron. However, if I had to shell out the cash myself I'd save a coupe hundred grand and grab a Zonda F.

    The bug is an engineering ****box... and when you compare it to the zonda its not even close.

    The bug was designed ass backwards and thats why it has the gigantic engine, the enormous weight and the 10 unubtanium radiators... because it was not designed properly from the start.

    Don't get me wrong... the engineers did a great job with what the restrictions they were given, but as an overall project, this thing was doomed from the start.

    The Zonda is pure bliss.

    Are there any limitations on special editions of the pair? If not, though I respect the Veyron, I'd take the Zonda Cinque or Tricolore any day

    Pagani without hesitation. Veyron is ugly and ultimately since Im not racing the car on a track for cash looks is the most important thing.

    Zonda......its art on wheels while the Veyron is a technical lab on wheels. Me, well I have always been fan of art...

    What are the Bugs going for now? A million and change? I really don't know how much the Zonda F's go for these days, but it'd be suprised if you couldn't get into one for $800,000

    Pagani without a doubt. I was at the factory and met Horacio back in 2002. The cars are gorgeous and this is w the body off. Cant say that about most cars.

    The Pagani is also a lot more about performance whereas the Bug is more of a luxury toy w 1000hp bragging rites

    I'm a racer and I think the Pagani would destroy the Bug after a few laps
     
  14. Easy choice, Zonda. Everything about the Zonda is amazing. The interior, the exterior, performance, sound, everything. The only really great thing about the Veyron is the top speed bragging rights. Im not a big fan of how the Veyron looks or how the interior looks. It's nice, but not eye-poppingly beautiful like the Zonda. I'd also expect the Veyron is an overweight pig in the turns.

    It is hard to find any functioning Bugatti modern or vintage that is worth less than a million bucks...so I would take the Bugatti.

    I'll dissent and say Bugatti Veyron. I'm not really that keen on the styling of Zondas, it's far too over the top for me. :eek:

    Having said that, my choice between the two is wholly irrelevant as I'll never own one - I'm after a car that's superior in every meaningful way... the Ferrari 348. ;)

    All the best,
    Andrew.

    Pagani Zonda.

    p.s.
    In the future please refrain from asking a question with an obvious answer.

    The looks of the Veyron grew on me. The Zonda in every iteration looks pretty horrible to my eyes. If I have to choose between these two, guess I have to pick the Bug.

    Can I go with plan C and grab a Koenigsegg instead?

    Zonda F's go for a million Euro, some slightly less.

    Last year a few F's where worth around 1.5-1.7m USD.

    That said, if I had 2m to spend on a car it'd be a zonda F club sport roadster, in dark grey with darkish red interior, inconel 'sport' exhaust and the 'new style' wheels in black. The Zonda F is the finest car in the world.

    I specifically want a FCSR because the cinque is only 20kg lighter. It may be marginally quicker round the track but if you have this sort of money to spend it won't really hurt you that much to do track work properly, i.e. in a race car entering a race series you can be competitive in.
